Re: [igraph] Solution for installing python-igraph for Anaconda using Homebrew igraph [OS X]

[Tamas Nepusz]

Great, thanks for the writeup! I'm thinking about incorporating this
somehow into the setup.py script, which already contains an Anaconda
Python specific hack - it all depends on whether there is a way for
setup.py to pass the --global-option flag "internally" to the
compiler.
